Technical Analysis for EUR/USD: April 22, 2016

The Eurozone’s interest rate was kept parked at 0 percent, ECB president Mario Draghi said on Thursday. The announcement sent the Euro to the bulls but traders’ reaction quickly dissipated, sending the pair to 1.12 levels.

Draghi dismissed reports that helicopter money will soon enter the picture, generally showing an upbeat look on the economy. He kept doors open for a negative interest rate in the future.

Inflation was at 0 percent last month, largely missing ECB’s target of almost 2 percent. Draghi said that the inflation should rise before 2016 ends.

The ECB president also responded to Germany’s criticisms on the former’s soft monetary policies.

"We have a mandate to pursue price stability for the whole of the eurozone and not only for Germany alone,” he said.

The market is now waiting for reactions from Fed.

The MACD is currently below its 9-day EMA, reaching an intraday high of 1.1311. The spot rate is 1.1282 at the time of writing and is still declining. The pair is facing an immediate support at 1.129 and 1.1162, subsequently, while immediate resistance is at 1.1341 and 1.1397 subsequently.

The Eurozone’s monthly manufacturing and services PMI are the next stimulus for the pair. Figures will be released later today.

Technical Analysis for AUD/USD: April 22, 2016

The Aussie dollar is retracing despite high iron prices, and rallying commodity prices and risk sentiment. The AUD slipped to 0.7726 from today’s high of 0.7775 due to a recovering USD and flat oil prices.

Shortly after ECB President Mario Draghi announced that the Eurozone’s interest rate will remain at 0 percent yesterday, the pair reached 0.78 cents, but similar to the EUR/USD, dipped as well.

The pair’s 4-hour MACD shows a bearish divergence, but the long-term weekly MACD is pushing for a bullish convergence. The MACD indicator is in neutral location.

The pair’s first support occurs at 0.7684 and 0.7646 subsequently, while its first resistance is at 0.7787 and 0.7826.

The greenbacks’ side is fairly quiet with no data outflow later today.

Technical Analysis for AUD/USD: April 25, 2016

After the Australian dollar shot up to a 10-month high last week at 0.7834, it entered a bearish weekend and is still extending losses. The exchange rate is now at 0.7716 although it posted a day high of 0.7728 earlier which was almost immediately trimmed.

The AUD has the rising commodity prices and a generally weak USD to reverse the uptrend, but we are expecting the losses to extend at least until the Q1 CPI on Tuesday. Exports and imports figures will be published on Wednesday. RBA assistant governor Guy Debelle will also deliver a speech on Thursday that may foreshadow the direction of future monetary policies.

The highlight this week is the Fed’s announcement on Wednesday about its interest rates. Consumer confidence is also due on Tuesday.

The first support is at 0.7661 and 0.7622 subsequently while the first resistance is at 0.7743 and 0.7781 subsequently.

The MACD indicator is in negative territory. The price is rising.

Australian markets are on a break today as it celebrates the Anzac day.

Buying interest are surrounding the Euro as markets remain vigilant ahead of the FOMC meeting. Lower than expected home sales from the US also added upward pressure to the Euro.

Annual home sales only reached 511,000 from last year’s 519,000, hugely missing forecasts of 520,000. The spotlights are now on Fed’s two-day policy meeting that will commence later today and the announcement from the BOJ on Thursday.

Technical Analysis for GBP/USD: May 4, 2016

Declining to its bottom-most level since February 2013, the Markit Manufacturing PMI in the UK modulated to 49.2 in April. This data was lower than the re-assessed value of 50.7 in March and below the economists' expectation of 51.2. The Manufacturing is still one of the most unpredictable sectors of the economy and still faces challenges including poor demand in the Asian markets and the slowing down of the euro area.

The first support occurs at 1.4480 and at 1.4400 subsequently. The first resistance stands at 1.4560 and at 1.4670 subsequently.

A confirmed and a sturdy buy signal has been found. The price is over the Ichimoku Cloud and it is on top of the Chikou Span. The Tenkan-sen and the Kijun-sen display a horizontal motion. The ascending movement will remain until the price is on top of the Cloud.

Favorable market data trimmed the Aussie dollar's losses and bounced it back to 0.75 handle in the early session.

Australia's statistics bureau revealed on Wednesday that retail sales gained 0.4 percent in March from February's 0.1 percent, topping a projected 0.3 percent growth. However, retail sales for the first quarter only rose by 0.5 percent, just 0.2 points shy of analysts' 0.7 percent expectations. Retail sales in Q4 of 2015 was 0.6 percent.

But the upbeat data still failed to propel the once-glowing USD to 76 cents. AUD/USD is currently trading at 0.7492, struggling to break through 0.75 level, although it reached an intraday high of 0.7515 before sinking back down.

Scott Morrison, Australia's treasurer, said on Thursday that RBA deputy governor Philip Lowe will take Glenn Stevens' place as governor on September 18. Lowe will fill the post for seven years.

The first support occurs at 0.7416 and 0.7379. The first resistance is at 0.7488 and 0.7525. The MACD indicator is in negative location. The price is increasing.

Technical Analysis for AUD/USD: May 6, 2016

The anticipation for the US’ nonfarm payrolls blocked the AUD’s slight uptrend on Thursday session, sending it down to slump at 0.73. The current spot exchange is 0.7372. A decline in crude oil prices and the RBA’s statement of monetary policy (SOMP) released today tightened the bears’ grip on the AUD/USD.

After the RBA slashed interest rates to 1.75 percent on Tuesday, its SOMP revealed further cuts on inflation forecasts. From the previous estimate of 2 to 3 percent growth, the RBA lowered its projection for the 2016 to just 1 to 2 percent. The central bank is aiming for a 2 to 3 percent inflation rate by the end of the year.

Forecasts for the next two years’ inflation were also revised down to 1.5 to 2.5 percent from the initial 2 to 3 percent. RBA’s statements indicated another possible rate cut.

The MACD indicator is in a negative location. The first support is at 0.7459 and 0.7422 subsequently. The first resistance is at 0.7522 and 0.7560 subsequently. The price is falling.

The sterling hardly reached the 1.45 level when dismal figures on the UK’s services sector was released. GBP/USD retreated to 1.44 levels and bottomed at 1.4456. The current exchange rate is 1.4496.

The service industry’s purchasing managers index (PMI) slimmed to 52.3 in April from the previous month’s 53.7, recording the softest PMI in three years. Economists expected a 53.5 growth. Traders are closely watching for the NFP data from the US which will help decide the Fed’s next move on its interest rates.

The first support is at 1.4442 and 1.4403 subsequently while the first resistance is at 1.4494 and 1.4496 subsequently. The MACD indicator is in neutral location. The price is increasing.

Technical Analysis for AUD/USD: May 10, 2016

The AUD/USD has now settled at the 0.73 handle as data from China, Australia’s largest trade partner, did little to boost the Australian dollar’s value against the greenback. The AUD bottomed at 0.7299 today and peaked at 0.7351.

The impact of China’s bearish consumer prices, which grew by 2.3 percent in April from the same period last year, was lukewarm. Markets were expecting a 2.4 percent rise. Its PPI fell by 3.4 percent, not as much as the forecasted 3.8 percent decline. Exports and imports, which stood at -1.8 percent and -10.9 percent y/y respectively, were also on the red.

Buying interest on the USD firmed slightly due to an increase in wages, which was up 0.3 percent m/m in April and 2.5 percent y/y. Only 160,000 jobs were added to the nonfarm payrolls opposed to a projected 202,000 additional positions.

The spot exchange is now at 0.7339 and the price is rising. However, we are yet to see the AUD breach 0.74 today.

The immediate support is at 0.7272 and 0.7236 subsequently while the first resistance is at 0.7364 and 0.7397 subsequently. The MACD indicator is in a negative location.
